y
and orderly character, about 100
persons were present, 10 of whom
cast their votes at the trial ballot
with the following result:
Il. II. Bailey, l19, II. p. Baldwin,
llS, p. N. Makee, III, James
Campbell, l0s, j. Richardson, lOS,
II. A. Widemann, 93. Besides
these, Mr.. Thomas Campbell of
Paia received 30 votes, Rev. w. p.
Kahale 10, and w. p. A. Brewer
2, the latter gentleman declining to
run. Above nominations meet with
almost universal appreciation and
are pretty sure to do credit to the
electors and the people at large. In
the course of the afternoon a meet
ing was called for the following
Monday evening, Aug, 10Th, at the
Wailuku Skating Rink, to ratify the
nominations of Mobiles, and to nomi-
nate Representatives. Accordingly,
on Monday evening, crown gather
ed at that place, the Kahului X. X.
conveyed the voters from Kahului
and Spreckelsville to the scene of
action; the Catholic Band discourse
sweet music on the train and at the
rink; the Waikapu band also was in
attendance, and a great bonfire was
blazing at some distance from the
rink. The Hon. p. N. Makee called
the meeting to order about s O'Clock,
and Mr.. r. ID. Walbridge was elect
ed Chairman. Hon. G. +. Richard
son made the Introductory speech in
well chosen words, advising all to
pull together, to support the new
Constitution, to put aside all race
prejudice and ill-feelings, and join
in the good work for the building
up of the country.
Next, Mr.. j. w. Kalua-"Ke
Ali o Wailuku"-stepped forth and
delivered a speech in his usual elo-
quent oratorial "bravour," frequent
ly interrupted by bursts of applause !;
expressing himself strongly in favor
of the new order of things and re-
ferring to his political record as one
of the strongest supporters of the
Opposition in previous legislature.
Being later in the evening nominat-
ed candidate for Representative he
declined the nomination as an Off
cial of the government, adding,
however, that "if they wished to re-
turn Representative with the view
of establishing the Republic in this
country, he would resign his posi-
ton and run"
After some sensible and well
timed remarks from Mr.. G. W. r..
King, the nominations of Mobiles
made the previous meeting were
confirmed and carried by reclamation.
Nominations of Representatives
were next in order, and the names
of w. B. Keanu, o. Nawahine, w.
II. Daniels, j. w. Kalua, S. f. Ka-
leikau, w. ii. Cornwell, and l.. w.
p. Kanealii were proposed, Mr.. Ka-
leikau nominating himself, and in
his address thanked the gentlemen
who nominated him. (sic!)
w. B. Keanu had never been i'm
prison or appeared before any
court of jurisdiction, and conse-
quently considered himself a fit and
proper candidate for election.
Mr.. Kanealii commenced with
holding the Constitution on high
and proposing cheer for it; pro-
fessed to be staunch Independent,
although he had been to Gibson's
hash house during former legisla-
ture and had since accepted gov
eminent position as Sheriff of Ma
kawao, and concluded his remarks
by entreating the electors ''what-
ever they did, not to leave him out. I"
Messrs. w. ii. Daniels and O..
Nawahine were nominated by a
large majority, and after a few fit
ting remarks from some of the
Mobiles nominated, notably Messrs.
Z. H. Bailey, p. N. Makee, and j..
Richardson, the meeting adjourned
about 10 o'clock. The Skating
Rink was comfortably filed with
people of all nationalities to an es-
timated number of 500.
1t is stated on good authority that
Mr.. W. Ii. Cornwell does not intend
to run for Wailuku.
About 200 persons have register
ed and qualified tovote for Mobiles in
the district of Wailuku, and few
more will probably be added before
the register is closed. 15l voters
have registered for the precinct at
Kahului alone, and of these 108 are
qualified to vote for Mobiles; of
these again about 20 persons are
from Spreckelsville Plantation alone.
Good for the Spreckelsville boys
A stabbing ARRAY occurred last
Friday, 10th inst, at Spreckelsville
Camp, No. 5, in which two China
men were the participants. 1t APP
pears that the would-be murderer,
an ugly visaged, scowling celestial,
disliked even by all his countrymen,
came in from the fields about noon,
being sick; and while at home en-
ployed himself in stealing chickens
from neighboring coop. The cook
of the camp caught him in the act,
protested against such social-demo'
cratic appropriation of somebody
else's property, and was stabbed in
the abdo men and forehead by the
